The best and worst states to work in a dental practice: 2017

From 1 to 50, we looked at each state to see how it really stacks up for dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants and dental front office team members.

Things are looking peachy for Georgia in terms of best oral health (17th) and the cost of living (14th). Unfortunately, the state ranks low for several other categories, including uninsured rates (47th) and financial savviness (45th), which means you may not want to have Georgia on your mind when it comes to finding a dental practice to work at.
